In referring Pat Robertson or Karl Rove as "Little Pricks," am I a sexist?
Edited on Thu Nov-10-05 09:47 PM by Tom Yossarian Joad
After reading a thread about the "B" word and catching myself referring to Rove as a prick, the question jumped to the front of the line in my bizarro brain.

Opinions?

1. Tom, I think you might be insulting pricks! :-)

But not a sexist.

Got any new art work?

2. For Me... It's Inconsequential Anymore...
We have been Fucked over so much, most of us don't even know WHAT to think anymore!

Pretty much... it's up for grabs and name calling is minimal in the whole scheme of things. America is in big time TROUBLE!!!

5. depends on what you mean by prick....
as slang for a penis, you are doing penises a disfavor.

if you mean a prick, as in prickER, one who pricks holes in things, that is different :-)

or if you are labeling them in whole based on a proven point of anatomy.......hmmm

6. No, calling him a fat piece of shit with a little tiny pecker and balls
the size of mustards seeds, would be slightly sexist though. So watch yourself.

7. "Little pricks"
Not sexist, just an anatomical fact.

11. You must have missed the memo
Didn't anyone tell you that it's only biased, inflammatory speech if spoken against an "oppressed" group?

At least that is the idea I get from the very loud few around here...

Or didn't you notice that the banned words list has no references to white males?

A particular word is only "bad" if it helps the "oppressed" in their identity politics of "victimization".

12. Several male DUers have posted that it's offensive
so I pledged to not use it anymore on some thread this past week. I haven't used the word since I was a surly teen trying to offend adults so it's not difficult for me to not use it. :shrug:

22. Now see, that's too coy.
It really would be nicer if the question were "Are you a big enough prick to be vice-pres?"

Some things comedy should never sacrifice.

18. I think you pick the wrong side of the human anatomy
They are great big assholes not little pricks.
Come to think of it, they are great big shitty assholes

I think that is not a sexist reference
so watch it, next time with those sexist remarks

19. "Sack of crap" is always acceptable. And accurate. And fun!
It's gender-neutral, too. Try it today!

21. Hmmm...
Edited on Thu Nov-10-05 10:50 PM by Kurovski
Oy! That's a chalare of a question! How about "lousy cocksuckers"?

Just be sure to add "lousy" so as to distinguish them from the suberb cocksuckers such as myself, thank you very much.

As a personal opinion, Robertson & Rove fall squarely into the "Jag-bag-mother-fucker" camp. But even that is bound to change depending on what the "Shmoiger-shvantz" twins are up to on any given day.
